NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason knows whether Johnny McCrary or Wade Freebeck will start against Western Kentucky in the season opener.

The coach just refuses to say which quarterback won the job.

''You'll see it Thursday night, 7:01. Get ready,'' Mason said Tuesday.

Vanderbilt was the only Football Bowl Subdivision team to start four quarterbacks last season in Mason's debut season, and the Commodores went 3-9. Patton Robinette appeared set as the starter after spring practice before announcing he was heading to medical school this summer.
